Dexus agrees to sell 50% stake in 480 Queen Street for A$657.3 million

AI Market Summary
Dexus agreed to sell its 50% stake in 480 Queen Street for A$657.3m net, about 4% below prior book value but in line with the latest independent valuation. The transaction releases ~A$329m of proceeds (partly deferred with a 6% coupon) and modestly lowers gearing, supporting capital recycling. However, the discount to book and reliance on asset sales can renew scrutiny on earnings durability in office REITs.
